Source Level Error

[alexanderepstein]

This line of code

public class Fern extends Plant implements Comparable<Fern>

is causing this error Syntax error, parameterized types are only available if source level is 1.5 or greater

The linter is showing this error (that can be prevented by disabling this package and restarting atom). However my code compiles fine using javac and runs with no issues as well. My system must be running on source level 1.5 or greater already, not to sure why the package isn't picking up on that.

These kind of issues are very much handled at the Eclipse JDT layer. Specifically they need configuration information about your project as a whole and tend to use the Maven pom.xml file although there is also some support for Gradle and Eclipse project information.

https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls has a little bit more information although I'm not sure if there is a full guide to what is and isn't supported.

Is there anyway to have the plugin generate this file? I used to code Java in eclipse and the only reason the classpath file isn't a big deal is because they generate it for me.

If I was able to just select all the Java files I wanted to include into the classpath file and then the plugin would determine the correct syntax to represent this data in a classpath file.

By the way thanks for the quick response and creating this, atom has been my editor for a bit but I was still switching to eclipse to work with Java but now I can use just atom :)

It doesn't look like the Eclipse JDT language server supports that at this time.
